Green Man and the Geek

Talking baseball every week and the geek.

And welcome to the geek podcast.

Where are you?

Which edition is this? Monday night edition. Monday night non-football edition. I'm John Bonas of Twinsdaily.com with me, Aaron Gleeman of Baseball, Perspectus.com, where we talk twins. We are at... Even in the offseason. Yes, especially in the off season. We are at 612 brew, one of our longtime favorite spots. One of the probably... I don't know if it was the first spot. I was disappointed. Robert Kosick is not going to be able to join us today. He's sick. Well, so they were one of the first of this sort of, not one of the first breweries in the Twin Cities, obviously, but this sort of wave that's now been an explosion of tap rooms and breweries. but they were one of the first and we became friendly with them because robert who you just mentioned one of their owners

is friends with parker hagman one of our buddies and we started doing shows here and he invited

us to do shows here and it's a great spot in in northeast super great people uh they've also kind of sponsored a lot of our events and stuff.

They've provided the beer for winter meltdowns and pub crawls and all kinds of other stuff.

So this is one of our favorite spots, and they invited us over here.

We have a decent amount to talk about.

There's no big breaking news like there has been three or the last four weeks, but there

is some news, especially on the coaching side.

John, they had a special beer that they wanted John to try.

Yeah, a couple of them.

They got the premium lager that Aaron is drinking right now, which is good.

And I had something called the RV4.

It's a collaboration between them and dual citizen, which is a farmhouse ale.

And it is, it's a unique, what I like about breweries more and more these days is I like sort of the unique ones.

You know, the ones that are a little bit different.

I've not had a farmhouse ale like this before. It's a little bit sweet, not too Belgian-y. I like it a lot. You're saying you like the beer. Yeah, it's hard to believe. I know, right? Shocking. So, yeah, we have coaching stuff to talk about, which we're going to get into a minute. We got some FSN TV broadcast stuff. There's been a few transactions that the Twins have made in the 40-man roster, house cleaning stage one, and then we're going to spend a big chunk of the show. We've been hinting at the last few weeks, so it keeps getting pushed off by actual news. They're talking about some free agents. From free agents. We're going to talk infielders on this show, which... Start with middle infielders and see if we get to the corner infielders or not. Because as we talked to last week, I mean, we were talking about this past month or the past year, but last week especially, we both kind of agreed that while there's a lot of different things that twins can do and probably will do this

offseason, infield is one spot where they have to address it.
